Knowing Don Bosco: loving the young

HONG KONG: 19 May 2012-- The Salesian Youth Ministry Office organized its 3rd meeting on 12 May 2012 at Tang King Po School. More than 80 participants including Salesians, principals, teachers and pastoral workers of the Salesian Family from Hong Kong and Macau’s schools and organizations gathered in this meeting. The theme was “Knowing Don Bosco, Loving the Young” which matched with the Rector Major’s Strenna 2012 “Let us make the young our life’s mission by coming to know and imitate Don Bosco”.

Fr. Antonio Leung shared a short video on the Rector Major’s Strenna. Our Rector Major invited us to know Don Bosco’s life history deeper in order to re-shape his image and to continue the mission of Don Bosco that God had given him. This is the teaching and evangelizing work of the young. Serving youth is the foremost target of Salesian discipleship. We must search them in the environment they live. 

After the brief presentation of Rector Major’s Strenna, participants divided into small groups and shared seriously their own experience on how they introduced Don Bosco to the students through the Eucharistic celebration, sodalities and classes. After the break, they gathered again to explore who is the most needy youth in their organizations. After the discussion, the consensuses was that the most needy youth in the organizations included youth with learning difficulties, youth without goals and the born Catholics who were confused about their religious identity. 

Fr. Andrew Fung, Vice-Provincial of the Salesian China Province concluded with a sharing of his thoughts. He saw Don Bosco in everyone who took part in the group discussion. This was because everyone had a compassionate heart accepting the youth that God had given them. When Don Bosco served the young, the same compassionate heart allowed him to get closer to them. Fr. Andrew encouraged all to get to know Don Bosco again in the coming school year with a compassionate heart, to enthusiastically engage in their work and work with the young with vitality.

During the concluding prayer, they re-studied the miracle of Jesus in the wedding of Cana and promised to let Our Lady to be their guide. They would use gentleness and love to acquire the heart of the young, saving their souls as Don Bosco did.
